Built with the same form factor as the iPad mini 4, but up to three time more processing power, the 7.9″ iPad mini from Apple has been upgraded with the A12 Bionic chip with Neural Engine, a 7.9″ Retina display with True Tone, and Apple Pencil support, so you can sketch and jot down ideas as they come to you. This iPad mini is just 0.24″ thin, weighs 0.66 pounds, can store up to 64GB of data, and comes in a gold finish.
The tablet’s 7.9″ Retina Display features a native resolution of 2048 x 1536, showing over 3 million pixels at 326 ppi. It also features support for the P3 wide color gamut, an anti-reflective coating with 1.8% reflectivity, 500 cd/m2 brightness, and True Tone, which dynamically adjusts white balance for more natural looking images. The Retina Display’s capacitive touchscreen lets you utilize all the multi-touch gestures of iOS.
The mini is driven by Apple’s 64-bit A12 Bionic processor with Neural Engine, which allows it to use real-time machine learning to recognize patterns, make predictions, and learn from experience. All of this lets you run apps like Adobe Photoshop CC, experience augmented reality, or play games with immersive graphics.
Accompanied by the A12 chip is the M12 motion coprocessor, which measures the motion of the iPad via the accelerometer, three-axis gyroscope, and compass, lightening the load of the A12 Bionic chip and freeing it up to process multiple tasks while enabling it to maintain fast performance. The iPad mini may have the Retina Display, but it still manages to maintain its 10-hour battery life. That’s because the A12 chip isn’t just more powerful; it’s also more efficient.
The iPad mini comes with iOS and Touch ID. Designed for the iPad, iOS features News, enhanced multitasking, a shortcut bar, editing tools, updated multi-touch gestures, and more. Touch ID uses your fingerprint to unlock your device as well as make secure purchases in iTunes, iBooks, the App Store, and more via Apple Pay.
Thanks to Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) and Bluetooth 5.0, the iPad mini can connect to your network and integrate with iCloud, so you can sync your iPad mini to your other iOS devices and Mac computers. Push photos, download apps, and continue from where you left off in iBooks with iCloud. iCloud also offers cloud storage so you can back up your contacts, photos, and important documents to Apple’s cloud servers. You can also restore your iPad mini to a previous state using iCloud.
This iPad comes preloaded with iOS. Please check your device settings for the latest available update.

The iPad mini has an impossibly thin, light form factor. Screen quality is exceptional, and performance is snappy. For content consumption at home or on the go, this is a great device.

I have an iPad mini 3 and have been wanting to upgrade for awhile. I purchased the 4 in December on sale but it felt sluggish. The 5 is almost perfect upgrade. This size if perfect for reading. Love the pencil support. I do miss Face ID as I have of on my iPhone XS.

Love the size of the screen. Last tablet I bought was the Nexus 7 2013, I like the iPad mini a lot better bigger screen and faster. Was debating on whether I should go with the regular iPad but glad I didn’t this is the perfect size for me. Cost is higher than the iPad but the iPad mini has a newer processor and more storage.

I use as a paperless alternative for calendar, journal and to wath videos. It’s very light and portable, but still fast. Great product.

This is a nice little device, smaller than the full-sized iPad Air, less bulky – even fits in the pocket of my jeans, but still with a quite large screen. I like it a lot.

Old iPad was a 1st generation and sorely needed an update. This has more memory a faster processor and a sharper screen.

Nice unit, hate to pay extra for a smaller size. 10.2 is a better buy if size isn’t an issue.

I replaced my former iPad mini. I am a big fan of the size; this is my third mini. This one is speedy and works great. I have the pencil, but haven’t played with it much yet, but it seems like a great addition.

I was so pleased with the customer service person who assisted me with this over the phone purchase. It replaced an older version of an iPad mini. Visuals are so much crisper and brighter. Battery lasts much longer than older iPad. Best part was how easy it was to transfer data from the old to new. Trust me, I have very limited computer skills, but this newer version made it a breeze. Result – one happy camper!

Perfect for my professional stuff on-the-go (mostly video and audio production, graphic design etc.) Worth every penny!

I use this in place of a phone, and for me it’s just about perfect. I like that it still has a headphone jack, and I hate the idea of face id. With IpadOS, 256gb and up-to-date internals, it’s 10x the device my Mini 2 was.

Perfect for me . Small compact.

This is a great iPad and the perfect size for someone who doesn’t always use it. This is also perfect for aviators and pilots. This is the perfect size for pilots starting out as it fits perfectly in the cockpit of any general aviation planes.
